■■■■□ 🚫 Purple Operations Limited’s Cyber Intelligence Team produced a report titled “The Octopus’ Grip”, examining Iranian state-sponsored cyber operations targeting the Gulf region.
The document covers offensive cyber campaigns observed between February and March 2026, including the deployment of Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) phishing kits, ransomware operations, DDoS attacks and targeted attempts against critical sectors across all six GCC member states. 📊
The report dissects the nature of the threat by mapping the Iranian cyber ecosystem — state agencies, front companies, PhaaS operators, proxy groups, and cybercriminal affiliates — and analyses how strategic partnerships with Russia and China potentially enhance Tehran’s capabilities against Gulf targets. 🎯
With the region facing coordinated pressure from multiple actor types, this publication provides GCC decision-makers with an analysis of recent tactics and the underlying structure of the adversary. 🔍
